The StarTech.com 4 Port PCIe USB 2.0 Low Profile Card is designed to expand the number of USB ports on a computer, making it easier to connect multiple peripherals. It features three external and one internal USB 2.0 ports, allowing users to add devices like keyboards, mice, printers, or external storage without needing additional hubs. The card supports high-speed data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps, ensuring efficient file transfers and smooth operation with compatible devices.
This USB card is backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1 devices, making it a versatile upgrade for older systems. Each port provides up to 500mA of power, which is sufficient for most standard USB devices. The card also includes a dedicated power input, ensuring stable performance even when multiple devices are connected simultaneously. This makes it ideal for users who need reliable power delivery for devices like external hard drives or USB fans.
The low profile design of the card allows it to fit into compact or mini-ITX cases without requiring extra space. It comes with a standard profile bracket for installation in full-sized cases, offering flexibility in different PC builds. The card is plug-and-play compatible, meaning no additional drivers are required for basic functionality, though WHQL certified drivers are included for enhanced compatibility and performance.
Installation is straightforward, and the card is suitable for both desktop and server environments where additional USB connectivity is needed. It is particularly useful in scenarios where multiple peripherals need to be connected without the need for external hubs or adapters. However, it is important to note that this card only supports USB 2.0 speeds and will not work with USB 3.0 or higher devices at their maximum potential.
